6O MEMOIR OF THE KILKENNY HUNT. 



CHAPTER V. 



OF the early rules of the Kilkenny Hunt Club 

 there is now no record ; but as time went on they 

 were, no doubt, revised. In November, 1843, it 

 became necessary to pass certain resolutions as under, 

 the committee present being the Marquis of Ormonde, 

 the Earl of Desart, John Power (afterwards second 

 baronet), James K. Aylward, Clayton Savage, William 

 Bayly, Austin Butler, Joseph Greene. 



Resolved, That any gentleman being proposed for the Club, must 

 have his name, together with that of his proposer and seconder, placed 

 in the Club Room one clear week before the ballot takes place, which 

 will be held every Friday at ten o'clock during each meeting. Ten 

 members must be present at the ballot, and one black ball excludes. 



Resolved, That no member do introduce any person into the Club 

 Room during the meeting under any pretence. This rule having of 

 late been infringed upon, the Committee think it right to remind 

 members that this is one of the old rules of the Club, and ought to be 

 strictly adhered to. 



Resolved, That all yearly subscriptions to the Club and entrance 

 fees received by the secretary be lodged upon receipt in the Provincial 

 Bank, Kilkenny, to the credit of the Committee, and that the secretary 

 do keep the letters and vouchers of the Committee. 



Agreed, That an account be opened in the Provincial Bank, Kil- 

 kenny, to the credit of the Committee of the Kilkenny Hunting Club, 

 and that no money can be drawn without the signature of one of the 

 Committee.
